>>64766081>Barbarossa happens and Germans take Moscow>Americans shit themselves and start a massive rearmament programpure fuddlore (I mean obviously. Halifax couping the British government????)a successful Barbarossa would have seen the capture of Moscow in November maybe Ocobre of 1941 - irl the US had already started a rearmament program long before thatalso with the US Navy being busy destroying the kriegsmarine who's there to protect the pacific?
>>64766149It's not as much of a coup as Halifax convinced the parliament to sign an armistice with Germany after Dunkirk.Apparently Moscow falls in '42-ish and the Germans get bogged down a few hundred km west of the Urals.>Pacific After the us started militarizing in mid 1940 they reinforced their pacific holdings and the Japanese realised that they couldn't do a surprise attack anymore so they focus on taking china. There is a pseudo cold war brewing between them, the US and the former commonwealth India and Australia apparently.
>>64763482Sure, any fucking physics undergraduate could put some RF device together that could be used to trigger something based on proximity but my fucking dude in delusion, you're ignoring the part where they miniaturised it, made it hard to the extreme shock of being shot out of a god damn gun and then turned around and made them in the fucking millions.You're falling right into the fallacy trap of "because they became common afterwards they weren't technologically marvellous during WW2", just like the helicopter and a thousand other things that the Western Allies just got on with and pulled out of their arses because they had the economies, the knowledge and the manufacturing capacity to do things the Germans couldn't. i.e. they were just fucking better, stay mad about it.
>>64766180Vacuum tubes aren't cat-whisket diodes, they're way stronger than you're trying to picture them, closer to mechanical devices (any contemporary shell fuze) than something sensitive once you take strength into account during the design (they're literally made with small metal pieces and glass (very strong under compression) ). And making the smaller reduces the stress by acceleration.The merit of the VT was the mass production and iteration with the problematic shelf life, Germans simply ignored them because they didn't have the electronic industry of the US to mass produce tubes. But for torpedos and some of their AA rockets they used proximity fuzes (less reliable but not jammeable)

The T-34 is the best tank of World War II. What about airplanes? According to /k/
>>64764967Cirumstances dont matter, so stop fixating about muh logistics. Those tanks were flawed to begin with, to the core. This is why Panther was a technological dead end.
I once got to see a B-25 takeoff about ~100ft away. The sound of those Wright Cyclones at full throttle on takeoff was a near religious experience, it's something you have to see up close to understand
>>64761724>'competed with the'F4U never "competed with" anything it was a 1-single specific design contract with USN, prototype first flown April 1940.>Grummanafter World War II began and during the two years 1940+1941, all bets were off concerning any pre-1940 ideas, projects, or concepts in the U.S. aviation industry: It was a whole new worldthe XF6F-1 contract was signed on 30 June 1941, and subsequent to Pearl Harbor 12/07/1941 (official U.S. entry into the war) plus combat experience reports in first few months 1942 of F4F vs. A6M, USN BuAer requested the already-available R-2800 engine for the fighter design.

R-2800 happened to be the most readily available and tested design at that moment in timeComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
The answer to which tank is the best in WW2 should be self evidentDo modern tanks look like T-34s? no, do they look like Shermans ? hell noThey all look like Tigers and Tiger 2s , there is your answer Its that simple

>>64765491>22wmr, 17hmr, 17wsm rimfires?The one I had hopes for is the .17HMR II. Simple bbl swap to any LR (10/22). But alas.

>>64765522Load some bubbas piss'in hot loads your self then
>>64765952Exactly. Using a small shotgun with smaller rounds just makes sense. And I can see how fun it would be to shoot with much less recoil while maintaining a pretty devastating blast.

>>64765623>most of the special forces personnel will play the role of generalsBeing good at PT and shooting drills doesn’t make you a good strategist. I haven’t met any SF officers I guess, but all the enlisted Green Berets I’ve met have been high functioning sociopaths with coke problems. At the end of the day it’s just another job in the Army with a specific skillset like the infantry and the guys who pack parachutes all day.

Having a guy that's willing to lay in a bush for a week, pissing and shitting all over himself the whole time, is an essential part of modern combat doctrine and drones totally don't make him obsolete

>>64766142The overlay is very similar to their only reference, the Kuznetsov class. Their next aircraft carrier is considerably larger.
they take FPV drones, same kind you use for filming fpv videos or freestyle stunts but they strap C4 bombs unto them and use them as disposable explosive missiles.
>>64764957What I mean is it's a good weapon but it would be useless if it was just a couple drone operators on the frontlines. The only real way drones can replace some of these things is if, or really when swarm drone technology becomes a thing, and when AI are piloting them fully and competently. As it stands in ukraine, they've been able to use them against russia extremely well but still used in tandem with infantry, tanks, planes, helicopters and naval assets. In an extremely simplified way of saying it, drones are being used like artillery shells, just ones you can directly control and see through, a tool of attrition.
>>64764964Why are russia and ukraine using impact fuses and 1 pilot for each drone. This is significanly more lethal as 1 operator can deploy 5 air burst munitions like in this demonstration...

>>64765243It's kind of weird because my friends who own steel frame guns and go on to shoot my Glock say it's snappy because it's so light, meanwhile I find CZ steel frame guns snappy
>>64765163Yes. Average testosterone dropping faster than Wyle E. Coyote off a cliff.Although a compact 40 does feel different than a fullsize 45.
>>64765163Nigga, if you can handle snappy guns you have a good grip, but if you can't tell them apart from a normal fullsize you have nerve damage or something.
>>64765764What people percive as snappiness can often be broken down into 3 or more reasons: harsh recoil from a low weight firearm, shorter recoil cycle, distribution of the weight in the firearm (see polymer handguns). Then you have any combinations of these plus the kind of load you're shooting. I love shooting with my glock, but compared to my 92fs the recoil IS snappier.
>>64765163It might be overgassing, at least in the case of rifles. My FAL is very snappy compared to my M1/M1A.
